-
Make an android project on your firebase account, follow the mentioned steps and you're good to go.
-
Now run the app on your connected device (using terminal):
- You need to get your SHA and SHA256 signing key from the output of 'gradlew signingReport'
- Upload keys to the ChaseApp firebase project - https://console.firebase.google.com/u/0/project/chaseapp-8459b/settings/general/android:com.carverauto.chaseapp
- Download the updated google-services.json and install into the chaseapp/android/app/ directory
- Configure ~/.gradle/gradle.properties for Mapbox Secret Token
https://docs.mapbox.com/android/maps/guides/install/
Add
MAPBOX_DOWNLOAD_TOKEN=<token>
Supply the correct Pusher Instance ID and Stream Chat API key:
flutter build ipa --flavor prod --target lib/main_prod.dart --dart-define=Prod_Pusher_Instance_Id=4asdfasdf33 --dart-define=Prod_GetStream_Chat_Api_Key=sadfasdf
Open the build in xcode and hit distribute app
open /Users/mfreeman/src/flutter/build/ios/archive/Runner.xcarchive
To trigger the CI/CD workflow for store deployment for android and ios, push a tagged commit with the latest version tag like follow,
git tag v0.1 -a -m "Release v0.1"
git push --follow-tags

We are using manual signing and provisioning profiles are set likewise in the xcode. And the flutter build ipa command throws error when exporting archive when manual signing is used.
That's why we are providing ExportOptions.plist file which includes manual signing settings to use while exporting archive. If any changes are need to be made in export profiles, then updated ExportOptions.plist needs to be updated here.
ExportOptions.plist can be generated once by manually exporting the archive through xcode.
Steps :
- Build archive through
flutter build ipa ...other parameters - Open archive in xcode and export it.
- Copy updated ExportOptions.plist from the exported archive folder within build folder in project dir.
We need to change the Java version:
https://docs.appcircle.io/integrations/working-with-custom-scripts/custom-script-samples/
Create a custom script above the android build step with the shell script:
echo "Default JAVA "$JAVA_HOME
echo "OpenJDK 8 "$JAVA_HOME_8_X64
echo "OpenJDK 11 "$JAVA_HOME_11_X64
# Change JAVA_HOME to OPENJDK 11
echo "JAVA_HOME=$JAVA_HOME_11_X64" >> $AC_ENV_FILE_PATH
